Judge to rule on Zimmerman gag order Monday

Prosecutors asked a judge to impose a gag order in the case of a former neighborhood watch leader accused of fatally shooting Florida teenager Trayvon Martin on Friday.

Judge Debra S. Nelson will rule on the order Monday.

Assistant state attorney Bernie de la Rionda said he believes George Zimmerman's defense attorney, Mark O'Mara, has been using a website, social media and news conferences to influence potential jurors.

He said the site and social media created by the defense team was "groundbreaking," but it has gone too far.

O'Mara launched a website, as well as Twitter and Facebook accounts in April, citing a need to diffuse fraudulent Internet entities that claimed to come from Zimmerman. O'Mara contends he doesn't discuss any specific evidence and has been compliant with all bar rules.

O'Mara said in court Friday that one half of one percent of visitors to his website are from Central Florida, making them eligible for the jury pool.

Zimmerman attorneys say that everything they've said in public so far is "proper and well within our rights."

Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the February shooting and has pleaded not guilty.
